• “Vampire Weekend: Modern Vampires of the City – review”

  (XL)

  As the title and the aerial cover shot of a mysterious, clouded Gotham City suggest, Vampire Weekend's latest album concerns itself with New York, the city from which the former Columbia undergraduates have observed the manners of the east coast elite since 2006. The Hudson river gets a namecheck, on a minor key rat-a-tat of a song that begins with the explorer for whom New York's river is named.

• “Lionel Shriver: 'If you're thin, you are a kook; if you're fat, you're a failure'”

  The rise of Lena Dunham, Adele and Christina Hendricks might challenge the tyranny of thin, but our obsession with body size is still out of control, argues Lionel Shriver

  We're used to actors stripping on camera by now, so, in the many episodes of Girls in which Lena Dunham tugs her dress over her head, what's shocking isn't the bare breasts, but the belly: it's convex. Though Dunham could hardly be called fat, her stomach displays a distinct little jiggle. Has she no shame? No, as a matter of fact. She doesn't.

• “Tribute bands take centre stage at the festivals”

  Not every fest can afford big-name lineups – many are turning to a new wave of credible copycat acts

  There are more music festivals than ever before. Every weekend from now until October is splitting at the seams with pulled pork stalls and jester hats. Competition is intense, and a lot of smaller events are finding it harder and harder to book the big or buzz-worthy acts, turning to tribute bands in their stead. Banish those preconceived stereotypes, however – this year's tribute acts practise a high-quality, inventive form of credible copycatting. Let's call them homage artists. It sounds cleaner.

• “Vampire Weekend's new album reviewed”

  It's no small thing for a band to shake off the shtick that made them famous and move on, but Vampire Weekend seem to have done it

  Those searching for evidence that, even in a world shrunk by the internet, culture from across the Atlantic can still seem beguilingly exotic to a British audience, might consider the case of Vampire Weekend. They arrived in 2008, a riot of preppy clothes, neat hair, African-inspired guitars and songs that suggested Ivy League backgrounds: replete with titles like Campus and Diplomat's Son, with lyrical references to punctuation, 17th-century architecture and "good schools and friends with pools". The band have protested about the detrimental effect all this had on the way they were perceived by those who didn't grasp that there was an element of role-playing involved.
